Synopsis:

Being a stranger doesn't necessarily mean to be coming from the farthest away. Karl and his mother are about to learn this when they move from the west coast of Denmark to the ethnically, and religiously, mixed area of Nørrebro in Copenhagen. Sawsan, a young Islamic girl in Karl's new class, takes him under her wings and tries to integrate him into the big city, with all its slang and hipness. Sawsan is far more experienced and blunt than you would normally see amongst her peers, but also in comparison with Karl, this young Danish boy from the provinces. That is, only until her big dream comes true and one of her homemade songs is chosen for the Danish version of the Eurovision Song Contest for kids. Sawsan's father of course says no, but Karl has other plans.

Karl has no desire to move to Copenhagen. He adores the dunes, the beach and the sea in the remote region where he lives with his mother and prays to God he can stay there. But he has no choice; his mother's job means she needs to move to the big city and so Karl goes with her.
